rails?

[cking]

is there any reason I can't use 1.5 x 2.0 tubing and drill holes in ends and make my own rails. $88.00 will get two 60" pieces delivered

Nope no reason... you may want to get the steel powder coated or at least painted though to prevent rust and have it look a little cleaner. If you plan to use the bolts that are in car already it may not work, on the steeda rails it bolts through a thin piece of metal, they might not be long enough to go through the 1.5" tubing and still have enough thread left to catch

even if you go stainless you probably want to paint them. They will be visible from the side of the car and the shiny stainless will probably look out of place. Just my opinion though.

1.5 square 0.83 wall $120 stainless you could make them longer also only weigh 8# each.

Yes, not but a lot but if you think about it, they have to be a little lower than the lip of the car or else you wouldn't be able to jack on them....

If you ran SS rails you wouldn't have to do much, just a quick pass with a can of satin black spray paint, just so it blends in with the side skirts

I have BMR's rails. They are a little longer than the Steeda's but do the same thing. BMR rails are angled so when bolted on they sit flat yet still mate uo with the slight contour of our cars floor pan.

Everything I have done has added weight to my car. I guess I need to go on a diet.

Big fan of the BMR jacking rails. The added weight is as low as possible and evenly split fore/aft. And their latest, low profile version is even better.
